Don't show a value when last month is zero or empty

Hi!

 

I created the following meassure:

 

 

Test =
var LastMonth= CALCULATE([sample meassure],DATEADD('CALENDAR'[Date],-1,MONTH))
var CurrentMonth = [sample meassure]
return
CurrentMonth-LastMonth
 
What i would like to do is that IF LastMonth is equal to zero or is empty, then don't return any value. i am using these meassures in a matrix with months as rows.

Hi,

Try these measures

LastMonth= CALCULATE([sample meassure],previousmonth('CALENDAR'[Date]))

Test = if(isblank[lastmonth],blank(),[sample meassure])

Hope this helps.
